Building a model 2 clone

[titan7]

I know it won't be cheap but what would be good sources to build a model 2 clone? I am looking to make one in that charvel electric blue. Are there any sources for headstock decals? Also is there any mfg making the pointy headstock or will I have to settle for fender style?

They have everything you need except the decal for the headstock.

Quick question... why make a copy when you can get a real one off of eBay for about 1/3 the cost of having one made?

Condition, and color. If I could find a nice one I would jump on it.

Thanks for the tip!

www.best-decals.com would be my first recommendation for the headstock decal. Although they've taken them off the website, I'm pretty sure they still have some in stock. Email them for info eh?

There are great condition Models to be had off ebay for not much $$$$...but that color might be hard to find.

The necks form Warmoth have heels that are 2 3/16 width....model neck pockets are 2 1/4....so it would be about 1/16 off...

don't know if that would cause any problems, never tried using a Warmoth neck in a Model body.

even having a beat up Model 2 body repainted will cost you only about 1/2 (+) of your Warmoth clone.

I'd go the original and paint it up if needed route. who wants a copy when you can easily and more cheaply have the real thing?

Search for the real thing. Building one will cost you 3 times as much.
$300-$400 for a finished Warmoth body, $250.00 for a neck, $250.00 for a floyd, $100 for a pickup another $ 60.00 for tuners, $60.00 for pots and cap and wire.
